Orly Cosmic FX Skittles Swatches

Finally got my hands on Orly's Cosmic FX Range :D these are extremely hard to find in the UK so I ordered them from nailetc.com, a really good American site, these polishes are absolutely stunning, and the duochrome tones in some of the polishes is just absolutely gorgeous, loads of piccies to follow :D took me a long time to capture the awesome effects of this range :D

One of the most exciting things for me about this range is the fact that two of the colours are pretty much identical dupes to two of Mac's Venomous Villains polishes (which are notoriously hard to find these days) Mean & Green and Formidable. Sadly no Bad Fairy, however I think I may have found a great way to dupe that polish also :D stay tuned for an upcoming post about that :D

Firstly some bottle piccies :D I'm in love with the rubber caps Orly have, they are just so easy to grip, something very satisfying about these, I also loved the brush, which is quite thin, I found it easy to apply, as I sometimes have trouble with the wider brushes on smaller fingers.

L-R Galaxy Girl, Space Cadet ( really see the green undertones at this angle)and Out of this World

Had serious trouble capturing the duochrome nature of Galaxy Girl, it is so much more stunning in real life and has bright blue/teal flecks which simply look incredible! Now for the other three :D

And here is OPIs Catch me In Your Net from the Summer Flutter Collection, which is very similar to Halley's Comet

I'm a big fan of duochrome polishes so I loved this collection, also this is the first time I tried Orly polishes and I was very happy with how they applied, all the swatches here are 3 coats on top of Nail Envy and with Seche Vite Top coat
